had windows tinted slightly looked good but had to remove. there was something in door itself that was scratching the tint made very bad places in the tint. has anyone else had issues with this happening

It's a byproduct of greater quiet and more sealing. If you look down in the door with the window open, you should (now) see an inner seal that brushes against the glass. I think it occurs mostly as the window gets almost all the way up. Thus, on my D3 with maybe 5 years on the tint now, particularly the lower inch or so of the front windows has some vertical scratching. 2013 Q5 with <2 years of tint life is already showing it a bit too.

yeah I could live with a few little scratches . mine was so bad it actually removed the tint from the windows maybe an 1/8 inch wide all the way up and down the windows . is there no way to fix this and have the windows retinted

How long did you let the tint dry before using the windows? I let mine sit for about 9 days before using the windows.

couple of days. this is almost like something metal or hard plastic was scraping it off. very clean cut straight up and down the window

Never had an issue after 4 yrs, depends on the product and installer.

I have an 05 with tint but I've only had the car a little over two years and no visible scratching. I don't know how long the tint has been on the car though. I recently tinted the fronts and it has helped with keeping the heat down.

Yes, there is a way. Find what is scratching it and fix it. Nobody can do that for you online.

A simple solution for complicated people (Audi owners).

their faces for some odd reasons... people behind ugly cars... doing ugly things inside the car... I thought Audi A8 D3 is a great looking car... why tinting?
